1 Listen, Lord, as I pray!You are faithful and honestand will answer my prayer.
2 I am your servant.Don't try me in your court,because no one is innocentby your standards.
3 My enemies are chasing me,crushing me in the ground.I am in total darkness,like someone long dead.
4 I have given up all hope,and I feel numb all over.
5 I remember to think aboutthe many things you didin years gone by.
6 Then I lift my hands in prayer,because my soul is a desert,thirsty for water from you.
7 Please hurry, Lord,and answer my prayer.I feel hopeless.Don't turn awayand leave me here to die.
